235.000-job-seekers-in-Belgium.

The Belgian labour market is facing major challenges. According to the latest figures, there are currently almost 235.000 job seekers in Belgium. That number clearly shows that a great many people are actively looking for work, but also that companies often struggle to find the right candidates.

Why are there so many job seekers?

The causes are varied and affect Flanders, Brussels and Wallonia alike:

• Economic pressure: rising energy costs, inflation and restructurings are creating uncertainty for businesses.
• A labour market mismatch: what employers are looking for does not always match the skills of job seekers. Especially in retail, hospitality and logistics, vacancies often remain open for a long time.
• Demographic shifts: the inflow of young starters and the outflow of older employees keep the market in constant motion.

Flexibility as a solution

For many people, the classic full-time job is no longer the only option. Flexi-jobs and student jobs are becoming increasingly popular. They offer not only extra income, but also:

• A better work-life balance
• The chance to gain experience across different sectors
• More freedom to set your own schedule
